Immigrant Women Entrepreneurs at center stage!

Last Wednesday, thousands of women entrepreneurs from all over Europe converged at the Square in Brussels for the 2012 European SME Summit. I’m sure you can imagine the vibe and the energy from having all these women come together.

Seeing the growing importance and potential contributions of immigrant women entrepreneurs to the European economy, a workshop was organized specifically on the topic. Five successful immigrant women entrepreneurs coming from five countries shared about the experiences and difficulties we, immigrant women, usually encounter in starting and growing our businesses. However, just seeing all these ladies up there on stage show us that we can hurdle these obstacles and make it!

We’ll be talking about our experiences and lessons learned, and sharing the stories of some women we met over these two days in Brussels in the coming posts so hang in there! In the meantime, have a great weekend, everyone!
